Recently, (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene was identified as the major sex pheromone component of the pistachio twig borer moth, Kermania pistaciella , one of the most serious insect pests of pistachio plantations in Iran and Turkey. In field studies, an attract-and-kill formulation containing (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene demonstrated efficacy in reducing damage caused by K. pistaciella and may become a widely-used, earth-friendly tactic for control of this insect in commercial pistachio production. To further develop this technology, a cost-effective, chromatography-free synthesis of (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene was required and is described in this communication.
最近,(2S,12Z)-2-乙酰氧基-12-十七烯被确定为开心果枝干螟蛾 Kermania pistaciella 的主要性信息素成分,Kermania pistaciella 是伊朗和土耳其开心果种植园最严重的害虫之一。在田间研究中,含有 (2S,12Z)-2- 乙酰氧基-12-十七烯的引诱-杀灭制剂在减少 K. pistaciella 造成的损害方面表现出了功效,并可能成为在商业性开心果生产中控制这种昆虫的一种广泛使用、对环境友好的策略。为了进一步开发这项技术,需要一种具有成本效益的无色谱法合成 (2S,12Z)-2-乙酰氧基-12-十七烯的方法,本通讯对此进行了描述。
